Story: Fourteen hundred years BCE, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules was the powerful son of the god king Zeus, for this he received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labours and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight or why or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. It is time for this bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen when they must train an army to become as ruthless and blood thirsty as their reputation has become.
Likes : I've got to say this is the best version of Hercules ive seen in a long time, Dwayne johnson really done this iconic character justice by bring the legend & the myth behind the man himself it was epic.
The battle choreograph in this film is outstanding with some of the best stunts ive seen, it really show the true strength of Hercules which is why some people believe him as a demi god because of the sheer strength.
Most of the film is a mixture of mythology & the real legend that is Hercules which is brilliantly told in a way you can easily understand not once did it show unrealistic theme.
Like most legends are told by the deeds they do in real life, most legends come from real events, in history this perfect show the legends like Cerberus with the three heads showing the real life legend in the film which is brilliant done.
Ian McShane play the Amphiaraus who can see the future if the god so wish to let him, he play this role with a funny sarcastic humour but a warrior that cant fight, he bring a very light humour to the role, Aksel Hennie play Tydeus who seem to be haunted by a battle years ago as a child from seeing what he seen, it made him a little animistic but a fierce fighter none the less, The gorgeous Ingrid Bolsø Berdal play Atalanta a Amazon warrior skilled with a bow & can fight like any man alive, she was awesome on the battle field, it was like watch a female version of Legolas from Lord of the rings, brilliant acting as a heroine for the story.
Reece Ritchie plays Iolaus, who try he best to spread the word of Hercules legend by every seem to think him a fool, but he just wants to be a warrior like Hercules, brilliant performance from him, John Hurt performance is spot on as Lord Cotys bring a ruthless & multiplexing personality as you think he the good guy but is hold something back, brilliant shown in this film. Joseph Fiennes is kind of a cameo playing King Eurystheus but he play this perfect, alot of his past in this film involves Hercules dark past.
Dwayne the rock johnson wow just awesome as Hercules, though most of the film i could tell that he was in pain clear from the injury in the wrestle match he torn the tendents in he pelvis, he was hiding it well but you could see the way he was walk he was in pain but still carry's on, but its just the way he portray this character is just outstanding performance i don't think they could of got a better actor to play the role to do it justice.Rufus Sewell playing Autolycus, brilliant acting playing character with a skill for knife throwing which matched his character perfect.
The C.G.I effect are awesome special with the hydra in the swamp, perfect environment that portray the mythical breast perfect, the way the show Cerberus as well is outstanding perfect look for a hell hound gate keeper with three heads. This couple with visual effects, stunts & amazing choreograph fight scenes this is a outstanding film for Dwayne to be in, this is a film i recommend watch, i know a lot of people think Dwayne johnson cant act but this film proves just has brilliant of an actor he is.
Dislikes : Nothing wrong with this film.
Overall : Best Hercules story ever, Brilliant fight scenes, brilliant acting
Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 10 out of 10 for story-line
